Chapter 37 Food

Looking at Xueying who was about to shrink into a ball, Neji smiled kindly and asked Xueying, "Are you hungry? Wait a moment!"

Neji filled three bowls of rice with his own white porcelain bowl. The full rice was crystal clear, and the alluring fragrance was appetizing. He brought the rice into the room and placed it on the shabby but clean dining table. He took out some of the finished side dishes he had prepared earlier from the scroll, mainly some tempura and bacon.

Tempura is Tempura, also known as "Tempura", "Tian" refers to oil, "Ban" refers to flour, and "Luo" refers to the outer layer. Therefore, tempura is a general term for fried food that is made of different foods wrapped in flour and fried in oil. The tempura coating is also called hanging batter. It is made as thin as silk and wrapped around the vegetables. There is almost no batter on the other side. This kind of tempura will not be too greasy and has the aroma of oil without overpowering the vegetables and other wrappings. The fragrance of things. Neji prepared the most common shrimp tempura, which is wrapped in a thin layer of batter and filled with fresh shrimps. It is fragrant and fresh, and then dipped in some soy sauce for seasoning. It is simply delicious.

Bacon is a type of cured meat. Because it is usually cured in the twelfth lunar month, it is called "bacon". Bacon is famous for being made in the twelfth lunar month and is a must-have food during the Chinese New Year. However, the cooking method of bacon is different in different places, so there are different categories, mainly marinated bacon and marinated beef. Different places have different cooking methods and different tastes, so they each have their own characteristics.

Smoked bacon has the same appearance on the outside and is cooked and cut into slices. It is transparent and shiny, bright in color, yellow and red on the inside. It tastes mellow, fat but not greasy, and thin but not stuffy to the teeth. It not only has a unique flavor, but also has appetizing, Smoked bacon can remove cold and eliminate food. The bacon maintains the characteristics of good color, aroma, taste and shape, and is known as "one family cooks meat with a hundred flavors".

From fresh meat processing, production to storage, the meat quality remains unchanged, the flavor is maintained for a long time, and it has the characteristics of not going bad after being stored for a long time. Because this meat is smoked from cypress branches, mosquitoes and flies will not crawl in the summer, and it will not deteriorate through the three-day period. It is a unique flavor food.

There is no bacon in the ninja world. Neji's bacon is still a delicacy that he yearns for in his past life. He made it with his own hands. The bacon is cut into thin and uniform thicknesses and is shiny and translucent. The red bacon is simply delicious when placed on a white porcelain plate. It's a work of art.

"Neji, what on earth have you prepared? You clearly didn't go home to prepare. How could you bring tableware and food with you? This is too exaggerated!" Kai looked at the food on the table in front of him and felt very sad. He was speechless. This was the first time he saw a ninja preparing these things for a mission.

Under normal circumstances, ninjas eat some dry food and military ration pills when performing tasks, or go hunting in the wild, or buy them directly in small towns, but I have never seen them carry all the tableware and food with them. .

Not to mention anything else, storage scrolls have limited space and are expensive. Ninjas basically use storage scrolls to store some ninja tools and medicines. If they are used to store large items such as tableware, the cost is really too high.

That is to say, Neji is proficient in sealing techniques and has a breakthrough in the space size of storage scrolls, so he can waste space like this and store things that other ninjas think are useless.

"Teacher Kai, you love life and you can't harm yourself, especially your stomach. And I am insecure. If I fall into a desperate situation and run out of food, preparing food can help me last longer!" Neji argued back confidently against Gai's fuss.

"Then how many things have you prepared?" Kai looked at Neji curiously.

"It can probably last for more than a year by myself. It cost me a lot of savings!" Thinking of the money he spent to prepare so many supplies, Neji still looked heartbroken.

"Neji, you guys are too exaggerated!" Kai was speechless and really didn't know what to say. But I still feel some sympathy for Neci in my heart. Seeing how insecure Neci is, it seems that Hizashi's death still had a great impact on Neci.

"Teacher Kai, Xue Ying, please enjoy. The conditions are simple, so please bear with me!" Neji looked at the simple meal in front of him and greeted politely.

"Don't go too far, you guy!" Kai roared loudly at Neji. It was not apparent that Kai's body was still severely damaged.

"I know. It's true, you're still so energetic even after being injured!" Neji muttered softly, like a frustrated little daughter-in-law.

"Then let's get started!" Neci picked up a bowl, picked up a few slices of bacon, and started enjoying today's dinner.

Kai didn't show any politeness and just started eating. Xueying followed closely without saying a word. Judging from the way she was eating, she probably hadn't had a full meal in a long time.

In a whole pot of rice, not a grain of rice was left for the three of them. Kai, as a taijutsu ninja, opened the door to surprise again today. His body was extremely exhausted, so he ate a lot. Neji's chakra extraction required a lot of energy every day. Energy, so the appetite is not small, but what Neji didn't expect was that Xueying, who was so small, actually ate more than him. Looking at Xueying's flat belly, he really didn't know that he could eat so much. Where is it?

Perhaps Neji's gaze was too direct and unrestrained. Xueying shrank down hard while sitting on the chair, like a balled up puppy, so cute.

Neji looked away embarrassedly, lamenting that the human physique in the ninja world was so weird, it was simply contrary to common sense, but thinking that he had already been reincarnated, there was no common sense in the world.

"Ah, I'm so happy. I can enjoy such delicious food during the mission. It's such a joy. Youth is indeed full of possibilities!" Kai put down the bowl in his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, and moved towards He leaned back and let out a sigh of contentment.

Neji looked at Kai with a lazy look on his face, silently clearing away the tableware after the meal. Seeing this, Xueying quickly helped Neji clean up the dishes.

The two of them were busy for a while and then returned to the room. Neji saw that Xueying was no longer very wary of him and Kai, so he thought of chatting together to find out about Xueying's situation.

"Xue Ying, where are your parents?" Although Neji guessed that Xue Ying's parents were probably gone, he still couldn't help but confirm.

"He has passed away, killed by a ninja!" Xueying's face was calm, without any regrets. She has been used to the warmth and coldness of the world. Although she is only so young, her mental age is far beyond that of ordinary people, and she has things that her age does not have. Mature.

"Are they ninjas again? Do ninjas really represent misfortune? Do they only bring pain and death to people?" Neji asked himself in a low voice.

"Maybe, not all ninjas want you to be as kind as this uncle, big brother, no! It should be said that only a very small number of ninjas can be so kind!" Xueying looked at the dark night outside the door and mouthed Li said the cruel reality, his voice was like a strong wind blowing from the Kingdom of Wind, which directly stirred up wind and sand in Neji's heart.
